User Reviews

Doesn't work most of the time. Either you get stuck in a loop of answering the stupid Captcha puzzles or it just won't load the page. Works around 35-40% of the time.

Is Open in the Archive Safe?

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open in the Archive requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
